<<Date>> Child Support Case Number(s): <<CaseNumber>>
1. We have started a proceeding to establish an administrative support order that may require
you, <<NCPName>>, to pay child support and/or provide health insurance and noncovered medical expenses for your child(ren) named below. The name and date of birth of the child(ren) is: <<Child1Name>> <<Child1DOB>> <<Child2Name>> <<Child2DOB>> <<Option 10>> Our records show there is no support order for the child(ren). We have started this proceeding because public assistance has been received for the child(ren) or because the other parent or caregiver has asked for our help in establishing support. You have a legal duty to contribute to the support of the child(ren) named above because you are the <<Option 11>>. <<Option 8>>
The name of the other parent is <<OtherParentName>>.
<<Option 24>> <<Option 55>> Based on public assistance records or a statement by the other parent or caregiver, you also may owe past child support.
2. You are required by law to fill out and sign the enclosed Financial Affidavit and Parent Information Form. You must return the filled-out forms to the address below no later than 20 days after you receive this notice.

If you have already given support for the child(ren), send us written proof of this support with your Parent Information Form. If the information on this form changes you must let us know the changes in writing. <<InsertWebText:2>>.
The other parent/caregiver has already completed these forms.
3. We will review the financial affidavits we receive and will use all available, reliable information
about your income and the other parent’s income to figure the monthly amount you should be required to pay to support the child(ren). If we cannot determine the correct monthly support amount, we may refer the proceeding to the Division of Administrative Hearings for an administrative law judge to conduct a hearing. Otherwise, this amount will be computed using the child support guidelines found in section 61.30, Florida Statutes, and placed in a Proposed Administrative Order (Proposed Order). Sometimes the support amount may be changed to an amount more or less than the amount shown by the guidelines. The deviation factors are found in section 61.30 (11)(a) & (b), Florida Statutes, which is available online at www.leg.state.fl.us. If you believe any of the reasons on the list apply to you then give us detailed information about that reason along with your Financial Affidavit.
If we know what your actual monthly income is, we will use that amount. We may ask for copies of your credit report, employment records, state wage data, or information from other sources to compute or verify your monthly income. If you do not tell us your income, we will use this other information to calculate a monthly income.
We will mail you the Proposed Order to the address on page one of this notice unless you provide a new address in writing. We will include the worksheet(s) used to compute the support amount and any financial affidavits we receive or prepare. We will send the same documents to the other parent/caregiver.
4. You may file a request for a hearing in writing within 20 days after the date of mailing or other
service of the Proposed Order or you will be deemed to have waived the right to request a hearing. Directions about how to request a hearing are included in the Proposed Order.
5. If a Final Administrative Support Order is issued, it can be enforced in any way the law allows.
6. You must tell us your current mailing address and send us any changes to your mailing
address. All proposed and final administrative support orders, notices of hearing, and any other papers will be mailed to you at the address on page one of this notice and we will presume you have received any documents we send you. You must provide us written notice of changes to your address right away. If you do not provide us address changes, you may not receive a notice causing you to miss a deadline and lose your right to ask for a hearing or file an appeal.
7. You or the other parent/caregiver may file a civil action in an appropriate circuit court of this
state at any time to determine your paternity and/or support obligations, if any. If, within 20 days after you are served with this notice, you file an action in circuit court and serve us with a copy of the petition, this administrative proceeding will end and the action will proceed in circuit court. If you file a petition, you must serve a copy on us at:

Only the circuit court has jurisdiction to grant a divorce, resolve a paternity dispute, award alimony, make name changes or modify or enforce a parenting time plan. If you want a hearing on any of these issues, you must file a petition in circuit court. A support order from a circuit court that changes the support obligation(s) takes the place of or supersedes a DOR administrative support order. However, any unpaid support due under the administrative order is still owed. If you choose to file a court action and do not have a lawyer, you can check to see if there is a self-help center in the county courthouse where you live. For availability, locations, forms, and other information go to www.flcourts.org.
8. If you want us to proceed in circuit court to address your support obligation, we must receive a
written request by mail within 20 days after you receive this notice at:
Florida Department of Revenue Child Support Program
<<Local Office Address>>
If we receive your request within that time we will file an action in circuit court to determine your support obligations, if any, after the other parent or caregiver provides a financial affidavit and will mail you a copy of the court petition and a waiver of service form. You must then sign and return the waiver of service form within 10 days after you receive it. Upon receipt of your signed waiver of service form, we will end this administrative proceeding and proceed with the circuit court action. If the waiver of service is not returned, this proceeding will continue. Our petition will only address child support. It will not address custody or visitation.
9. Call us if you are now in a bankruptcy or Chapter 13 proceeding. Parts of this notice may not apply to you.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND
LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely
increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one
year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.
The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative
ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the
information expressly relied upon and described herein: 1) no requirement for the Statement of
Economic Regulatory Costs (SERC) was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and 2) based
on past experiences regarding rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any,
do not exceed nor would exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth
in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory
costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within
21 days of this notice.

sending written notice to:
Florida Department of Revenue

Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program for Commercial Rental PropertyThe Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program for Commercial Rental Property (Program) authorizes the tenant of a commercial rental property to receive a tax credit against the state tax due on rental or license fees for contributions paid to an eligible nonprofit scholarship-funding organization. The Florida Department of Education establishes the eligibility of nonprofit scholarship-funding organizations to participate in the Program. Tenants of commercial rental property must apply to the Florida Department of Revenue (Department) to receive an allocation of the funds available for sales tax credits each state fiscal year (July 1 – June 30).
An application for an allocation of funds may be submitted for the state fiscal year the application is submitted or for funds for the following state fiscal year. Submit a separate application for each fiscal year.
DefinitionsFor purposes of the Program, the following terms are defined:
Landlord – Any business or person engaged in the business of renting, leasing, letting, or granting a license for the use of any real property subject to sales tax under section (s.) 212.031, Florida Statutes (F.S.), that collects and remits tax due on the total rent or license fee to the Department.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND
LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely
increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one
year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.
The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative
ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the
information expressly relied upon and described herein: 1) no requirement for the Statement of
Economic Regulatory Costs (SERC) was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and 2) based
on past experiences regarding rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any,
do not exceed nor would exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth
in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory
costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within
21 days of this notice.

The Hope Scholarship Program (Program) provides a public-school student who was subjected to an incident of violence or bullying at school the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to attend an eligible private school rather than remain in an unsafe school environment.
When you purchase or register a motor vehicle qualifying for the Program in Florida, you may designate $105 per vehicle to an eligible nonprofit scholarship-funding organization participating in the Program. If the state sales tax due is less than $105, you may designate the amount of state sales tax due. Your motor vehicle dealer, county tax collector, or private tag agent will remit your contribution to the organization and remit the remaining state sales tax and surtax to the Florida Department of Revenue.
Eligible contributions are used to fund scholarships for the Hope Scholarship Program. Contributions may also be used to fund scholarships for the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program, which provides a low-income student the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to attend an eligible private school.
To make your contribution to the Program, complete the following. Sign and date.
